Question

Yocum Company purchased equipment on January 1 at a list price of $120,000 and received a $2,400 cash discount. Yocum paid $6,000 sales tax on the equipment, and paid installation charges of $1,760. Prior to installation, Yocum paid $4,000 to pour a concrete slab on which to place the equipment. What is the total cost of the new equipment?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is $129,360.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

List price of equipment = $120,000

Cash discount = $2,400

sales tax = $6,000

Installation charges = $1,760

concrete slab = $4,000

So, we can calculate the total cost by using following formula:

Total cost = $120,000 - $2,400 + $6,000 +$1,760 + $4,000

= $129,360
